The Spring Counting Mats are here and reading to be your super easy prep solution to math centers and activities this spring.
We love these counting mats for a couple of reasons.
- EASY PREP: You can prep them in just minutes. I use my handy paper chopper to cut along the lines and 6 chops I can be done with a whole activity.
- MULTI-SKILL MATH: Cover counting, one to one correspondence, sorting, and comparing numbers all with these fun activities.
- HANDS ON: Math is SO much easier to remember and recall when we can add fun and/or sensory elements to it. Here kids get to play with toys, build art, touch bugs and more while they work on early math skills. It’s awesome!
